Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Great controller but very easy to break I’d say. I’ve had them for awhile but starting to notice some defects in under a year. Paddles help a lot for competitive gaming though.

    So having owned the series 1, this has some great enhancements and Microsoft listened. Major improvements is now 3 instead of 2 trigger lengths, enhancements to deeper control of the sticks, and the battery life with awesome charger. Highly recommend!

    This controller was high on my son’s Christmas list, & he has enjoyed it ever since. I also purchased one for my husband. He has not put it down since the day I bought it. If you have avid gamers in your house. They will definitely enjoy this controller.

    This was a gift for my son and it was very well received at that. I'm told there are several improvements over an already great controller. Watch the youtube unpacking that a couple of people posted and see all that it includes. Good stuff. RECOMMENDED!

    Makes gaming better. The adjustable trigger travel makes this controller ideal for FPS games and the grips are very comfortable. I did have the typical sticky A button issue but after a day of game play the issue resolved itself

    I’ve had scuff wick I think is a better controller problem is didn’t last more than 4 months. Stick drift was bad. Bought the elite 2 and have had no stick drift to this day so far
